Abstract: An earring assembly is provided that is comfortable to wear even when sleeping and is easily manipulable when it is desired to change the decorative portion of the earring. The snap-fit back portion has a front tube portion into which an earring post is insertable, a notch in the tube positioned and dimensioned to frictionally engage a corresponding notch in the tube portion. A flat disc affixed to the back end of the tube retains the back end of the back portion against entering the earlobe hole. In another embodiment a post guide is provided for insertion into the earlobe hole preparatory to inserting the tube from the back of the earlobe forward, aiding the placement of the tube. In yet another embodiment an extension piece is provided for lengthening the portion of the back that resides within the earlobe hole in order to achieve a custom fit.
